Like what do I even do at this point. Its a free app and these reviews hurt app store performance,
You were way too kind and accommodating towards that piece of shit.
probably the kind of person to scream “woke DEI” everytime they see someone who isn’t white working at burger king.
i’m so tired of lazy greedy developers implying i’m a moron with their radical leftist “code”
Oh boohooh did the poor wittle “conservative” encounter pushback on its silly wittle Fox-news-adled ideas?
I use RDX still if my Internet searches come up with a reddit page (technical troubleshooting)
Excellent app
How does it work after the API butchering?
Yeah I’m curious too! What technical sorcery is OP doing for presumably free API access
Their themes were sexy as well. Infinite scrolling was off by default, I have to say if I weren’t avoiding going back to reddit, it looks pretty great.
"This oven is horrible! 0 stars! Everything my wife makes on it or in it tastes terrible, "
Sorry, yo. Ya can’t fix stupid.
Haha you made my day!
Like writing a product review and giving one star for shipping speed lol.
on the French Amazon I once bought Argan oil and one of the 1 star reviews was “very disappointed, smells and feels like oil”.
I kid you not.
Or recipe reviews.
“I didn’t have flour, so I substituted lard. I also didn’t have sugar, so I substituted salted cod. Worst cake ever. 1 star.”
I read somewhere that the best places to eat are Yelp 2 star places where the reviewer whines about service. It suggests the reviewer wanted to give a 1 star review because they were mad but had to concede that the food was good, hence 2 stars.
And then they take 2h to get your food, you find the waiter’s entire ponytail in it, and you’re yelled at if you don’t tip 50%? Idk man, some restaurants get bad reviews for service because they have bad service. And having bad service detracts from the experience of going out to eat.
Ahh they stepped out of their echochamber because the app shows r/all if youre not subscribed to any subreddit. Also, sometimes im forced to use reddit, love your app.
That was a very diplomatic response to some stupid asshole like this.
Too diplomatic even.
Are you allowed to respond honestly?
If you made a response like:
"Dear reviewer,
When I wrote the code for this app, which displays content from reddit that I have no control over, I never envisioned some fuckwit moron would be so stupid that he or she would get mad at the App for just displaying what’s on reddit.
In the future, I’ll add a disclaimer that goes “Are you some anti-DEI piece of shit who thinks everything is Woke? Press the large red button icon below to only see the “based” subreddit.” I hope this will help you understand how to use this App, you fucking idiot.
Sincerely, Developer"
would that get your kicked off the store?
I’m going to give you a five star review to balance it. (Swiss app store)
Just challenge the review because it’s not about the app? If you can’t do that, then just let it go.
If he think Reddit hates his conservative views, he’d explode if he came here
He’d be blocked banned defederated very quickly
Defederating an instance because it had one conservative user thta was already banned
They all tend to flock on similar instances
That’s like being mad at the bus because your chosen destination for the day sucked.
Standard reply:
Dear sir or madam:
Some crackpot has written me an abusive message, and it seems they used your account to send it. I’m replying to you as a courtesy in case you wish to take action against this lunatic.
I’m guessing you’re basing it off of this official legal correspondence, which I am including below for people who haven’t seen it:
Dear Mr. Cox:
Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters.
Very truly yours,
CLEVELAND STADIUM CORP.
James N. Bailey, General Counsel

Is there a They/Them for Sir or Madam? Must include that as well.
Sadam.
To
it may concern:
“Sir or Madam” already is a “They/Them”.
If you believe my therapist friend who is also non-normative in a relevant fashion, demands for pronouns are often ‘othering’ in result, and thus go from farce to force.
So, I write fewer email.
Your first error was to create a reddit app.
Your second error was to not create or contribute to a Lemmy app instead.Hope that helped. :)
Why not contribute to Mbin & PieFed ?
That’s fine as well.
And this is actually the issue. As a developer I want to build and app based on what interests me. Then I want to write a post about it.
The comments:
- person 1: Why would you waste your time building an app for that platform, you should build an app for this platform that way less people use”
- person 2: “nah that’s a waste of time you should build an app for this even more niche platform with even less users”
- person 3: “you should just use RSS feeds and anything else is a waste of time”
Me as a developer “thanks guys I just wanted to build an app for a platform I’m passionate about”
Wrote this comment on my own lemmy client, because I like using about lemmy :)
